Ok. We know Trump is a maniac. Mad, bad, ill, who knows? But let& #39;s have a bit of fun. 7 months from now it& #39;s possible he& #39;ll lose the election. Not probable, yet, but possible. Think for a few seconds about what that means.... 1/
First up, there will need to be a concession speech. It& #39;ll have to happen. If he& #39;s beaten by electoral college votes, but polls more actual votes, that would be the most amazing thing. I mean it would be appointment viewing... 2/
But whatever happens, landslide or tight as a ducks arse, he& #39;ll have to concede, and I don& #39;t think he will enjoy that. I don& #39;t think he has the ability to be magnanimous in defeat and to congratulate his opponent. He may attempt it, but it& #39;ll last seconds... 3/
Instead, what I think we will get will resemble a gatling gun being operated by a deranged chimpanzee. Bullets of blame fired off in every conceivable direction. Utterly out of control, spraying bullshit through 360 degrees... 4/
And a huge amount of self pity, mixed in with self aggrandisation. "I was literally the best president the US ever had, everybody said so, but that wasn& #39;t enough for the dems, who were nasty and had the fake news" ad nauseum... 5/
However, as much fun as the concession speech would be, it would be but an appetiser when you consider exactly how the President Elect& #39;s inauguration ceremony would go. 6/
Think about that. It& #39;s usually jovial, lots of backslapping, former presidents smiling and exchanging Pleasantries. Mr and Mrs Obama will be there, radiating smugness. Bill and Hillary will be there, smiling smiles brighter than a thousand sharpened blades.. 7/
And there will be Donald and Melania. Both wearing faces like slapped arses. She doesn& #39;t seem to be able to help it, in fairness, and it& #39;s hardly surprising. Will he be able to be jovial, collegial at all? Or will he be sulking like a grounded 12 year old?.. 8/
I think I know which. And I can& #39;t fucking wait to see it. /end
